40 students
12-A
18-B
40-12=28
28-18=10
10/40 did not vote.
25% did not vote
10 is one fourth of 40
fourth of 100% is 25%

The difference of two numbers is 15. Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger. Find the numbers

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13
